About Maldon Primary School

Maldon Primary School has been rated Good across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant turnaround from its previous Inadequate rating. The inspection, carried out in July 2023, awarded the school Good marks for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This represents a notable improvement, as the previous inspection in February 2022 had rated the school Inadequate overall, with Requires Improvement for quality of education and early years provision, and Inadequate for behaviour, personal development, and leadership. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined, which stands at 45 per cent. While this is below the local authority average of 62 per cent, the school's reading and writing scores tell a more positive story, with 66 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in each of those subjects individually.
